Now that being posted, is there anyway for you to take the plugs back and get the TR-6's? Thats what I would rec. on a 150 shot.

The last thread 2 recommended TR6 I would not go colder! The ones you have are colder, try them if you can't return them, but they will quickly foul out. There is no way to make up for the wrong temp range with the plug gap.

On a 150 shot I would use Autolite 106 with ~.035" and an MSD coil. I use TR55 or Autolite 106 with up to 12 psi boost and no problems.

Good luck
